Re: "The P6 core isn't going to make it well into the Ghz, or so I assume since Intel is probably trying to get Willy out as fast as they can. The Athlon core was made for MHz and it seems the Athlon will be able to do GHz with much more ease than a P6 product. " This axiom has been repeated here many times but it doesn't have a leg to stand on. Funny how people here just pass things back and forth as facts and never question them. We were told that CuMine would top out at 700MHz at most! I believe this notion that CuMine won't make it above 1 GHz is as unfounded as all the other worthless claims that proved so wrong. Re: "ALL the above speculation assume Willy is somehow MUCH faster than the Thunderbird. We have yet to know the performance of either. Man, I want to know now!" So do I. Re: "AMD is already gradually increasing Fab space over the next two years with their FASL thing with Fujitsu." They have an idle Fab now. The world needs Flash now. EP
